Affectionately known as “the lungs of the city,” Centennial Parklands is one of the worlds leading public parklands, providing an urban green space for people to enjoy nature and the outdoors. Located approximately 5 km southeast of Sydney’s central business district, Centennial Park is reminiscent of a grand European park, featuring formal gardens surrounded by tree-lined avenues, beautifully restored heritage buildings, and shimmering ponds, statues, sculptures, and sporting fields.

Walkers, joggers, rollerbladers, and cyclists, frequent the park, as well as horse riders and their charges, all of whom make use of the beautiful natural landscapes. The park is filled with unique and diverse flora and fauna, including Port Jackson figs and Holm oaks. You will also find a restaurant, café, and kiosk that serve refreshments and light meals, an education and exhibition space, and a modern visitor’s center.
